Red Bull (8 oz)
110 calories
27 g sugars
76 mg caffeine
The Producers Claim Red Bull has: 'Taurine. Vitalizes body and mind.'
The Truth: Caffeine certainly offers brain-boosting benefits,and the added slew of B-vitamins are conceivably helpful for a more efficient metabolism. Unfortunately,the sugar and taurine work to counteract those forces. A New Zealand study found that even the 27 grams of sugar in Red Bull is enough to completely inhibit your body's ability to burn fat. And taurine,an amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter,might act more like a sedative than a stimulant,according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Is it safe? Certain European countries have banned the product out of fear that its stimulant properties increase the risk of heart attack. However,a 2008 research study presented to the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology observed no negative side effects in people after the subjects quaffed one can. The best thing about Red Bull is the pre-packaged portion control. It's half the size of many other sweetened energy drinks,meaning half the calories and half the sugar of its supersized counterparts.
